University of New Mexico

The Center for English Language and American Culture (CELAC) at the University of New Mexico is an intensive English program designed for international students and/or professionals who wish to develop college-level skills in listening, reading, writing, grammar and speaking in order to prepare for US academic studies or for work purposes. CELAC does not offer beginning or basic level classes in English as a Second Language. Applicants must be at least eighteen years old and have a high school diploma with a minimum GPA of 2.0. CELAC students can easily transition into University studies at UNM upon successfully completing CELAC classes and receiving a passing score on the institutional TOEFL exam given in our program. Assistance with the application process is available at CELAC.
